Looking for a Training, Workshop or eSeminar ?

CST STUDIO SUITE® is being demonstrated at trade shows and workshops all over the world. Take a look at the list of conferences and exhibitions CST will be attending and get further information regarding CST workshops, eSeminars and training days.

TrainingsRegular training courses are held in CST's offices in Asia, Europe, and North America. Please check our trainings section for detail of trainings in all over the globe. Advance registration is normally required.

WorkshopsCST hosts workshops in multiple languages and in countries around the world. Workshops provide an opportunity to learn about specific applications and refresh your skills with experienced CST support staff. Make sure you visit our workshop section.

eSeminarsThroughout the year, CST simulation experts present eSeminars on the applications, features and usage of our software. You can also view past eSeminars by searching our archive and filtering for the markets or industries that interest you most.

Why create a MyCST Account ?

A MyCST account may facilitate your access to many of the offerings on the CST website, for example the registration for eSeminars and the watching of eSeminars recordings, setting email preferences, and there is more functionality to come. It is required to participate in workshops and trainings.

Personal PreferencesAllows you to update your email preferences and areas of interest. It helps us to personalize your experience.

EventsSearch for events by location, industry and application. Once you are registered, you will be able to manage your registrations and check important details about your events. This section also provides you with a repository for Workshop & Training material.

LibraryYou can collect articles you find on the CST website to reference or read later by clicking on the “Add this article” button at the bottom of the article page.

Need technical Support ?

Student Edition

The CST STUDIO SUITE® Student Edition has been developed with the aim of introducing you to the world of electromagnetic simulation, making Maxwell’s equations easier to understand than ever. With this edition you have, bar some restrictions, access to our powerful visualization engine and some of the most advanced solvers of CST STUDIO SUITE.

Circular polarized antenna systems often require a mode converter to convert between a single mode (generated by a transmitter or required to drive a receiver) and two orthogonal modes with a 90 degree phase difference (at the antenna feed point). The requirements for such converters are high performance (low loss) and compact size.

The single-grooved linear to circular mode converter operates on the TE11 mode and generates orthogonal modes with the required phase shift through the simple addition of a single groove in the wall of a section of circular waveguide.

In the single grooved mode converter, grooves are aligned in a straight line, positioned on opposite sides of the waveguide and orientated +/-45 degrees with respect to the circular waveguide cross section. Each row of grooves consists of two center and two end grooves....

The single grooved converter employs a circular waveguide that supports the propagation of only the first fundamental circular waveguide mode (TE11) but not the TM01 mode. This limits the operational bandwidth to an absolute maximum of 26% (cutoff frequency ratio between the TE11 and the TM01 is approximately 1.3:1).

The graphs on the right below are normalized to the cutoff frequency of the TE11 mode. The grey lines indicate the TE11 and the TM01 cutoff frequencies, respectively. In order to show the circular output mode, transmission coefficients in a plane parallel to - and perpendicular to the incident E-field of the TE11 mode are plotted. These two orthogonal TE11 output modes and the 90 degree phase difference between them show how the mode converter splits the power equally and introduces a 90 degree phase difference between the two orthogonal modes when the operating frequency is between the grey lines.
